Playing For Keeps
(words & music by kesler)
Im playin for keeps
This time its real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
Im playin for keeps
Im sure this time
And I wont be happy
Until I know youre mine
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
Im playin for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, dont make me sorry
That I fell in love with you
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
Im playin for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, dont make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

Jane
Jane you say its all over for you and me
Theres a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane youre playin a game
Called hard to get by its real name
Makin believe that you still dont feel the same
Jane youre playin a game you never can win girl
Youre stayin away just so Ill ask you where youve been baby
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and house to house
Dont you pretend you dont know what Im talkin about
Were all those nights we spent together (hey hey)
Only because you didnt know better
Oh jane youre playin a game, youre playin a game, playin a game
Jane youre playin a game of hide and go seek
Jane youre playin for fun but I play for keeps (yes I do)
Oh jane thats a game on me
Oh jane thats so plain to see

Razors Edge
Never callin, unanswered letters,
How you been, feelin better?
Never lookin, but youre hearin,
Never speakin, but youre feeling
All the silence, and its wounding,
Youre not healing, just concealing
Play the game, play the game
Chorus:
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Dont roll over, dont play dead
Were all livin on the razors edge
Oh brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
Were all victims of the razors edge
All the rules dont mean a thing,
Theyre wasting time,
The memries sting
Keep your image, plant that smile,
Answer questions, dont let on
Make up stories all put on,
Thats your life, oh,
Your life is gone
(chorus)
You see youre losing, yet you still try
The game just awatches your life go by
Youre playin well,
Youre playin - why?
Oh, play the game
You see youre losing, yet you still try
The game just awatches your life go by
Youre playin well,
Oh youre playin the game

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Weve got it together darlin, were ready for it
You see Im smilin
Hmm weve got the people talkin, they know how we feel

And were not playin games and were not playin lovers

You cant deny it baby, we drive each other crazy
You cant deny it, no two people ever felt this way
You cant deny it baby, we drive each other crazy

The more were with each other, its so exciting
And its getting stronger
The way you touch me darlin, Ive never been
Touched like that before
And were not playin games and were not playin lovers

Youre all I need my love, youre there to push me on
I have to love you

Quit Playing Games
Even in my heart I see
You're not being true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Chorus
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got in my heart
I live my life the way
To keep you coming back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see?
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
You better quit playin' games with my heart
Chorus
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby, the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin here forever
Oh baby, baby, this is not right
Lets stop this tonight
Baby, quit playin games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could
So bad, baby
Quit playin games with my heart

There Goes
(alan jackson)
There you were standin in the shadows
Well I just looked where
I dont see
Im still pretendin I dont need you
I wont let you know youre killin me
Like some big black widow spider
You know just how to catch your prey
Im actin like it doesnt matter
And you sneak up from
Behind and whisper my name
There goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my act of playin it cool
And there go the words
I meant to say
There go the games
I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin for you
Well I think youre playin with me darlin
You like to see what you can do
Well I should be fishin for blue marlin
Instead of bein hooked again by you
There goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my act of playin it cool
And there go the words
I meant to say
There go the games
I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin for you
Yeah there goes your paralyzin eyes
There goes your tantalizin smile
There goes my heart fallin for you
There goes my heart fallin for you

Carnival Game
It was a masquerade at Mardi Gras
That was the only trip that I recall
Everytime I turned around at all
There was you
Some days are easier said than done
Always expecting something's wrong
I'd rather live alone than drag this on
Take your time- please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind the face and then you're gone
Oh,yeah- comes a time when you're better off alone
You're on your own
I've got a kaleidoscope of memories
Visions of you locked up inside of me
Can't you see
We once collided like a broken wheel
So undecided what was real
Maybe a crash somehow has sex appeal
Whatever turns you on
Take your time- please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind a face and then you're gone
Oh yeah- comes a time when you're better off alone
One down- one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
Your time is gone
One down- one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
You're all alone
One down- one to go
Oh no, you're on your own

Strange Currencies
I dont know why youre mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I dont know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
The fool might be my middle name
But Id be foolish not to say
Going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love
Couldnt I take you in and make you mine?
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time, oh
I tripped and fell, did I fall?
What I want you to feel, I want to feel it now
You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal:
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, catch myself, to make it real, real
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time, oh
These words, you will be mine
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,
Say loves combined, oh

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
You say that you love me
But you still be wylin' out
All of this yellin', all of this fussin'
Over just nothin', in my house
I pray to my Savior
And hope He will just help me out
'Cause all this confusion got me just bluesin'
I know what I should be doin' now, yeah, yeah
I can't lie, I (Don't wanna waste no more time)
I can't see why (You never try to do me right)
I can't lie, I (Don't wanna waste no more time)

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
I try to be patient
To see if you could figure out
With all of your lyin', all your denyin'
I cannot keep you around
You know that I love you
It's gonna hurt me to see you leave
I can't go through bein' misused
'Cause you know that that ain't me, yeah

But now you're out there playin' games
I know that you will never change
Cool with whatever 'cause it's been so long
All this nonsense you're doin' only made me strong
But if we stay together there's got to be some change
I don't even wanna hear another call your name
Cool with whatever 'cause it's been so long
All this nonsense you're doin' only made me strong
I don't think we'll be together 'cause you'll never change
Already stuck inside your ways, you'll always be the same
You say (You really love me)
I say (I really love you)
You say (We don't ever have to fight)

You say (You will never play the field)

For the competition

Say that Im wastin time
But my heart wont listen

They say I wont get through
But it will be me and you

And I wont give up til I see that fire in your eyes

Mr Bluesman
(sambora)
He was a man
A ramblin man he was yes he was
Guitar in hand
His home was on the road and thats where he was
Hes seen a thousand roads
Hes been a million miles
And when hed bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin
Mr. bluesman
Mr. bluesman
Town to town
Honkytonks and dives all look the same
His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin through the rain
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
cause when youre on the road
Theres nowhere you belong
Youre just alone
Where are you playin
Mr. bluesman
Mr. bluesman
Hes seen a thousand roads
Hes been a million miles
And when hed bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin
Mr. bluesman
Mr. bluesman
Ive paid some dues
Now I make my living as a music man
I play the blues
I guess the blues must be just what I am
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
cause when youre on the road
Theres nowhere you belong
Youre just alone
Where are you playin
Mr. bluesman
Mr. bluesman
Hes seen a thousand roads
Hes been a million miles
And when hed bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes

Down On The Corner
Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, theyre startin to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
You dont need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel wont ya lay your money down
Over on the corner theres a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Boys Girls
Chorus:
Boys go and shine up your shoes
Girls run and powder your nose
cause tonight youll be shakin
From your head down to your toes
Well feeling youre cool is as good as lookin it
Thinkin yourre cool is as good as knowin it
Playin it cool is as good as blowin it
You know you cant spend a dollar
If you aint got a dime
You cant hook a fish if you aint got a line
You wont catch the bus if youre not there on time
So go read up your books and sharpen your hooks
Then all you need is money and a mouth full of honey
And if you play your cards right after dancin all night
You wont have to walk home alone
You wont have to walk home alone
Boys you can hang loose and slip up real cool
But if that lady has a love noose
She might never let you go
And if you think that maybe youre too young
And you just can not cope
The grab a razor sharp pair of cutting shears
And cut a hole right in the rope
Snip a hole right in the rope
Chorus
Well feeling youre cool is as good as lookin it
Thinkin yourre cool is as good as knowin it
Playin it cool is as good as blowin it
You know you cant spend a dollar
If you aint got a dime
You cant hook a fish if you aint got a line
You wont catch the bus if youre not there on time
Well if you wake up tomorrow morning
You cant remember what you did
Just ring up some of your friends
And theyll tell you just how low you slid
Oh dont be ashamed of anything you hear
After all you cant be blame
When youre drinking so much beer
Hey dont you worry
That what you did just wasnt right
Just remember brothers and sisters
After every days another night
Just remember brothers and sisters
After every days another night

Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you dont
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you wont
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you wont
Be mine tonight

Feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
Im in too deep, Im in over my head this time
Cant get you out of my mind no matter how hard I try
So wont you

Keep On Going
Written by bob welch.
For a little peace in any season
Id give up anything but your love
I dont want to trade, tryin to be happy
Thats only playin anyway
But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder
For every good thing, must you get bad
But I wont worry, and if Im living on borrowed time
Im gonna keep on the way Im going
For every crime, theres retribution
And every vally has a mountainside
No, I dont like to trade just to be happy
That kind of deal wont turn out right
See it aint good to stare inside yourself too long
For every true thing therees one more lie
But I wont worry cause if Im living on borrowed time
Ill just try to keep on the way Im going
